Throwback Thursday: We Tested the Famous Sex and the City Vibrator, And This Is What Happened

2001 called, and it wants its sex toy back.

After the Sex and the City girls introduced us to Jack Rabbit, the notorious vibrator, we had to see what the hype was about. After all, it worked so well that it made Charlotte—yes Charlotte, the romantic one of the group—give up men. Her ban may have only been temporary, but nonetheless, we were intrigued. We had two women try it, and got their—and their partner's—opinions. Here's what they had to say.

Tester A

This toy is hilarious. I've tried it three times now, and my verdict is that the crazy spinning penis part is just too much for me (there are pearls inside that move!), but the rabbit ear part is awesome. I eventually gave up on the penis insertion and instead turned it around to use only the ears part on my clitoris, which was super-intense in a good way. The remote control was a bit confusing — there were two sliding switches to adjust the intensity level and direction of rotation of both the ears and the spinning beads — so it took some getting used to. Also, I can't imagine wanting to turn the intensity up even close to all the way — I think I might explode down there. The worst part was definitely the spinning pearls; no real penis does anything like that, and they made for a weird sensation. Also, the buzz was pretty loud. Unlike with more discreet, friendlier-seeming toys, I would feel awkward bringing the Jack Rabbit into bed with my boyfriend, but I will definitely use it again on my own, though probably only with the ears part.

Tester Rating: 4/5

Tester B

I've never met a vibrator I didn't like, and the Jack Rabbit was no exception. Still, it was a little intense and over-the-top for my taste, so it certainly hasn't taken the place of any of my go-to favorite toys. I like the fact that it had both the "ears" to stimulate my clitoris and the "head" to be inserted like a dildo, but I didn't think it was necessary for the "head" to spin like mad with those rotating beads. Also, this thing was loud — so loud that it kind of distracted me from the fantasy mind wandering that I like to engage in during this kind of me-time. The "ears" were quite effective, though, and in the end, I had an orgasm that was lovely and intense. But the road to getting there wasn't as fun as some simpler vibrators stashed in my drawer. I'd use this again, but not on a regular basis.

He Says:

I didn't use this with my girlfriend, but I did see it in her drawer and was kind of freaked out. This thing is huge! And it has features totally lacking in my—and, I assume, every other man's—anatomy. My girlfriend has assured me that being with me is better than being with the Jack Rabbit, but still, I feel a bit diminished.
